Gallery 5595 presents One Blue Pigeon an exhibition of new works by Stephanie Mann and Faith Limbrick. This exhibition presents a new body of work by both artists exploring the relationships between us and the objects we are drawn to; the architectures we create for ourselves and the topography of the time we navigate.

The constructions of Faith Limbrick and Stephanie Mann span across a range of media. Stephanie and Faith’s work has a self-willed freedom which allows the artists to explore concepts, form and process in a untrammelled, unfettered way.

Note: the gallery can be opened at other times by special arrangement. To enquire please email the gallery at info@gallery5595.com
